xkcd+Discovery Channel

[Ultermarto]

I only just found out about xkcd a few weeks ago. Love it so much. I just wish I understood all the comics...

[DualcastBahamut]

I love the title text!

[jeirda5]

XKCD does not stand for anything at all. However, the story that I heard for it is that one of the developers of the sight absolutely hated whenever people tried to pronounce out an acronym as a word. And so devised the most convoluted combination of letters that no one would dare try to pronounce out.

[guitarskills2]

@jeirda5 there's only one one developer... Randall.

[DustInTheWind64]

I love the comic, but since I'm not a coder/programmer I must ask, what does the phrase/acronym Xkcd mean?

[drakesdrum1]

@DustInTheWind64 NOTHING

[lukedude0628]

@rogerclanka their code is compiling

[rogerclanka]

they're sword fighting on office chairs?

[patu8010]

Okay, but from which strip(s) is this composed of?

[2bored2careful]

@patu8010 It's from xkcd loves the discovery channel.

[hellodave2006]

@patu8010 xkcd. the title of this particular one is: "xkcd loves the discovery channel"

[Kebrel]

@greenphantom

No.

[tt89898989]

This is one sweet ass-song

[AshyenMagnerus]

@liambuurns Google is your friend.

[rz4prezi]

@liambuurns look up comic number 207 what XKCD means

[meotramanh1]

i love this song

[earnestteller]

Using the right-handed rule for comment alignment: the thumb, pointed up, represents xkcd; the fore-finger, pointed toward the future, represents boom de yada; and, the remaining axis is dedicated to the previous commenter.

[Project2481]

@earnestteller Oh, lawd, this one's good!

[ericwdhs]

@earnestteller ooo... clever. You, sir, are a genius.

[supaflyjohnson]

xkcd is shit, and its fans are pathetic manchildren who love shit

[NorthernDownpour77]

your comment is shit, and all its fans are pathetic downers who like being partypoopers.

[Z3R0OneOneSe7en]

BOOM DE YADA!

[FlammaMan]

I love it when people make their own lyrics for this song.

Also love this comic.

[EolBlank]

Please deliver MP3! :3

[Dundreggen]

awesomesauce!

[hobbo2]

you guys are f****ing AWESOME!

[eMan2718281828]

I just got the new XKCD book. A quote from Randall himself on the pages where the famous comic is printed:

"To everyone who did YouTube covers of this, I love you all."

[19SoulChild2000]

wooah i just got the book today and looked it up!

[FighterGuDude3214]

@eMan2718281828 THERE'S A BOOK?!?!? OMIGOD I. MUST. HAAAAVE IT.

[FighterGuDude3214]

@eMan2718281828 THERE'S A BOOK?!?!? OMIGOD I. MUST. HAVE IT.

[John199312]

And I recognize all of the panels. *sigh* I may need a life. Ooh, new XKCD, life can wait!

[twitcher64]

They're all from one comic. There's an XKCD comic titled Boom De Yada

[John199312]

Well, I recognize the characters/scenes. The scooter in the last panel is from the Nathan Fillion electric scooter race, for example.

[twitcher64]

Ah right. I realize that now.

[BubbleButt88]

actually it's entitled "xkcd loves the discovery channel" ... comic #442

[SoshiUso]

Actually, it's from the comic titled "XKCD loves the Discovery Channel". There is no comic titled "Boom De Yada".

[legolaza]

lol i love your sister XD at 0:44

[Jaramo1]

This band certainly doesn't sound sober...

[shadeofsound23]

the people who did this song should add the verses from the discovery channel's version... just to have a longer song...

I can't help it, I just love the idea behind the whole "boom de yada" song...

[GabrielOfTheeInferno]

thankyou i see him!!! read down!!! grr it was a joke!!!

[NopiCalamari]

hes at 0:20 "I love your suffering" :P

[weodonnell]

he's at 0:19

[yamestupid]

hes at 0:22

[GabrielOfTheeInferno]

i am not a freaky fish guy!!!... lol

[NorthernDownpour77]

@GabrielOfTheeInferno lol i know what youre talking about! wierd right?

[padandude]

its funny when u send some1 a link to an xkcd comic and they dont understand it but you do, it gives the feeling of being better

[mrlizardface]

I hate it, it makes me feel like A fucking nerd,, I know its true, I should feel smarter, but i just can't... yeah

[taccun]

@padandude

yea, that's exactly what that comic is. It's a pompous attempt at trying to make technical things funny with the shear meanings of trying to sound overly smart.

[ChUbErTaL]

@taccun y'know, never knew that was a bad thing.

[taccun]

@ChUbErTaL

Then you're dumb.

[ChUbErTaL]

@taccun Ya, I agree with most of what you said. I personally find jokes about physics hilarious. That's the appeal of xkcd. You just find it "pompous" and "overly smart."

And, by the way, "shear" is spelled "sheer."

And, um, you don't use it in that sort of context.

[taccun]

@ChUbErTaL

My understanding of what is funny doesn't make me lack the will to understand the simple jokes. It's not as if the physics jokes are hard.

[Gyto736783r]

Stolen from XKCD!

[Silverwolfcub]

Buried for inaccuracy :P

[bobishigh145]

"The song was created by Sober and pictures obviously from xkcd, I just did the editing.

The song was created by Sober and pictures obviously from xkcd, I just did the editing."

Learn to fucking read, Jesus. It's right there in the description.

[Schokoladentoertchen]

solisflamma's right. absolutely.

[solisflamma]

that's far the best version of this idea

[EnviousPhoenix]

Yes.

Yes.

YES.

[Ecoi1]

Lol, awesome.  Xkcd rocks =P!

[137imaguy]

sweet

[xNobodyNothingx]

lol nice

[sermoa]

Excellent version! I really like it. Could i possibly use the music for backing track on a video about a geohashing trip i did yesterday?

[alexrits42]

Too right, m8

[TheStickyNoteKing]

You have no idea how far off the mark you are, Captain.

[Pizzachu1]

It's mostly for smart people.

[leon1921]

super!

[42Irrational]

I love xkcd

and all it's epicness

Boom Da Yada

Boom Da Yada

Boom Da Yada

Boom Da Yada

[robm22]

wat cant i say but i love ur sister ;)

[necrolet]

I love xkcd soo much. I sort of can't help myself from referencing it in everyday conversations...

[0menchild]

haha this is good ^^ XD in a funny way

[Drakonische]

i love XKCD ^_^

[marceloflix]

hahaha I love your sister! good one! :P

[NeutralityChecker]

Can you use the original audio from Discovery Channel?

[Lolzboy1000]

I love suffering lol XD XD XD XD XD you sure have some jokes XD XD XD XD XD nothing to say but XD

[aechman]

i love XKCD. ....wonder why its called that? hmm...

[geeksomeguy]

I believe the story was that it was an arbitrary four letter string that didn't appear anywhere in a meaningful sequence at the time. Also, the ordinal letter values add up to 42... Not coincidence - of course not... :P

[D34dlySpork]

It was Munroe's old username. He made it trying to find something that stood for nothing.

[aechman]

thats kool. man i love XKCD.

[D34dlySpork]

He actually prefers it not to be in all caps. He says it looks like it stands for something when you do that although it's acceptable. Apparently:

xkcd>XKCD>Xkcd>xKcD>XkCd>xkcD>­XKcd>xkCD

[padandude]

there are soem other people woh found out that its actualy equall to 42 by using some different mathe equasions and munroes is a huge douglas adams fan

[D34dlySpork]

It equals 42 if you just take each letter's numerical value (Assuming A=1, B=2, etc) and add them together. Completely coincidental. There are tons of letter combinations that will equal 42.

[dnlkr]

I love this bakery xD

[Silgana]

f*cking great

[mangamaniacXD]

oh hell yes!

[pornisevil]

:16.... lol

[Hugga1bear]

omg thats epic XD

[Angelmx86]

Lol, great song.

[crazyindian8]

XKCD!! WOO

[Testudo10]

I love this version of the song.

[whittners]

awesome.

[someEsoldier]

[fa2f]

super cool!

[AnasaziTribal]

Hooray for XKCD

[hadakielparra]

WHAT´S THE SONG?

[Mnementh2230]

I love your sister.

[johnnyx19913]

Awesome song man. Who's the sober you said in the description?

[Kebrel]

He is a member on the xkcd Forums, Sober is just his screen name.

[tastywilly]

This song kicks so much ass! XD

[ToyGoomba]

Ehhh, in my opinion, XKCD is too Grunge-90s. It just doesn't reflect today's society at all; it's severely outdated, almost enirely OBSOLETE in this day and age. I think it should perhaps consider a reinstallation, before it becomes the next Murray Kuwait.

[borderline18]

Did you guys just hear that we WON the war in IRAQ?!?!

[aznman444]

I just lost the game though....

[saltypandadog]

AH COME ON MAN

I lost...

[darthpaul18]

Damn it! the game, I lost it.

[kriegor191]

AGH!!! WHY!? I WAS WINNING TOO!

[93Vertigo8]

The game! I has it lost! OH, CHILD!

[smartinp]

Hat Guy is in the same level as Bender or Cartman. Love him, dude

[sytrue]

I love your suffering...ha...who doesn't love Hat Guy?

[ReadmanJ]

Nice.

[moynihj]

i just wanted to try the "audio preview" button

[tau000]

me too!!!!!

"Tau is cool."

that's brilliant!

[lildevil362003]

Win.

[rockgirl5455]

This is just awesome. So is the world.

Off topic: Audio Preview doesn't work for me. It's sad.

[NathanROFL]

This is pretty awesome!

[sethzilliano]

"Yo, yo, yo.  My name is Bah Rock Oh Bomb Ah, and I'm the president of the United States bitch."

Only way to get it to sound right. XD

[jahildebra]

raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaascciiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist.

>=(

[sethzilliano]

Nuh-uh!

I like Obama.

I guess.

I dunno, I feel we're pretty much screwed any way we look at it unless humanity as a whole does a 180. >.>

[jahildebra]

you do have a point. oh well. good-bye world! your gunna die cuz humanity frigging stinks.

[thebloodfromwithout]

Very nice version.

And no, I don't use audio preview.

[ApocryphalAuthor]

I must apologise for my previous comment. I was playing with the audio preview and apparently hit the "Post Comment" button instead of the "Audio Preview" button. Curse you XKCD, and curse you Google. Whilst I have made a total idiot out of myself over the Internet, I have demonstrated the clear downside to the "YouTube Virus."

[ApocryphalAuthor]

Yo, yo, yo. My name is Barack Obama, and I'm the president of the United States bitch.

[NoNameHabbo]

Pure genius.

[lonewolf4612]

The audio preview rocks my socks, seriously. It observes punctuation too, cool! Great work putting this vid together, you are full of awesome and win.

[Kebrel]

Thank you for all the love people. I Didn't expect anything, so really thanks! But please stop complaining about the poor comment you just fall closer to their level.

I love that they added an audio preview, It's great.

[BenJHare]

AUDIO COMMENTS!!!

Someone up there is a Romantic sarcastic mathematical language geek! ^_^

[KaiYotiC]

This is so far the best version I've seen.

[Orcluai]

MUCH better

[operaghost77]

Oh fuck off you stupid internet nerds. Why don't you go out and meet some girls instead of wanking off to furry porn every night you worthless faggots!

[XXBlackmage]

Thank you, good sir, for displaying how idiotic the world truly is. Without you, the internet would just be a bunch of civil people who can actually supply a good argument.

And just because it'll probably piss you off - Don't tell me. You read xkcd too and you're just trying to be "cool". There, I said it.

[butseksninjas]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

to anyone who actually reads xkcd, this is exactly what they r talking about

[trebor121290]

@operaghost77 you're just mad because you dont get the science jokes.

[sihugan13]

You are the butt of many jokes my sad, sad friend and you don't even realize it.

[Katzenhowzen]

badass!

[BurningCarousel]

Fucking awesome.

[adihrespati]

Coooooool! Makes me want to pirate it :-) [but, honestly, I won't]

[SmashCult]

Good, but the pictures are out of sync with the audio.

[xxwanting]

the music on this and the singing obviously surpasses the xkcd one!

[GuiltyVenus]

all the other vesions suck but this one is the best^^

[PsychoMonkeyParade]

Oh my god, I could watch this forever.
